Can You Spot The Errors In Donald And Melania Trump's Pearl Harbor Remembrance Tweets?

It’s been declared “a date which will live in infamy” but President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both made errors when referencing Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in a pair of tweets on Thursday.

The president’s tweet misquoted then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address to a Joint Congressional Session following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

“National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — ‘A day that will live in infamy!’ December 7, 1941,” Trump tweeted.

In fact, Roosevelt famously called Dec. 7 “a date which will live in infamy.”

Meanwhile, the first lady got the month of the attack wrong in her tweet.
